Replace hubs with OEM ones, no rock auto crap parts.
For lower rear control arms I have and like my Helix adjustable ones.

Northern CT.....any chance within a short hop up to see Pete at Greasysgarage in Worcester Mass?
Getting somebody too look things over might be a good idea if things have gotten so bad, unnoticed, till now....
They are getting busy with MOT coming up, but might be worth getting them too take a look.... -
Thanks guys ordered tires and all else needed then it's off to Worcester. Only 30 minutes away.

extreme tire wear on inside is most likely due to poor alignment - camber and toe set to extreme values. Possibly because something was gradually breaking and out of spec before it failed completely.

With the link broken your alignment would go way off and the tire will wear very quickly. I am a little confused because you stated your RR link was broken but your LR wheel was loose. Maybe just a typo and your RR wheel was loose. In any case, it sounds like both tires were worn. Negative camber will wear the inside of the tire and too much toe will increase the wear rate. If you car is lowered, the camber goes pretty far negative which will cause wear if the camber is not adjusted back to a normal range.
